Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun is reportedly open to a move to Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

Chelsea is looking to bolster their attacking options before the end of the summer transfer window, after losing Christopher Nkunku to a knee injury.

According to reports, Chelsea have shortlisted Folarin Balogun as a transfer target and have intensified their efforts to sign the young striker.

However, they face competition from London rivals Fulham and French side Monaco, who are also interested in the player.

Arsenal are reportedly willing to lower their asking price of over £40 million for Folarin Balogun, who is wanted by Chelsea.

The 22-year-old American international is said to be open to joining a London rival, and Chelsea and Arsenal have already done business this summer, with Kai Havertz moving from Stamford Bridge to the Emirates Stadium.
